Chapter One
It all started one bitterly cold January morning, on your way home from your friends' house. Snow was swirling around you making your foul mood fouler. You never understood why the weather was always different around you. As you approached your house, you got an eerie feeling- was someone following you? You shook the thought off- you were being paranoid. You entered the house, calling out a "hello". No one answered. Typical, you think. When you entered the kitchen, you got that eerie feeling again, and as you turned on the light, a gust of wind blew around you. What is going on here, you thought. Just as you were getting scared, you noticed an open window; you shivered and quickly closed the window and locked it. You approached the table and saw a note:
Miyuki,
Your father and I have gone away for a while to have some time alone. We're not sure how long we'll be, but hopefully no longer than a month or two. Don't worry; we know we can trust you!
Love, mom and dad
Well, you think, great. They're always pulling stunts like this. You sighed to yourself and went upstairs to get ready for bed. You're suddenly grateful that it's the beginning of the Christmas break. But because you were so engrossed in your thoughts, you didn't notice a figure creeping into the house, watching you; or them slowly following you up the stairs...
The next morning you padded down the stairs to get some breakfast. As you entered the kitchen, you felt someone tap you on the shoulder, and when you turned around and couldn't see anyone there, it justified the bloodcurdling scream that escaped your throat.
"Be quiet!" shouted someone from behind. You turned around cautiously, and saw someone dressed in black with high, spiky black hair with white smack in the middle. You realized that he's almost as tall as you, and that even though you're still paralyzed with fear, you couldn't help but notice that he's pretty attractive.
He's waiting impatiently for you to speak, so when you found your voice, you asked, "Who are you?"
"Hn. Didn't your parents tell you anything? My name is Hiei."
"Alright then, Hiei, why don't you tell why, exactly, you're in my house," you asked.
"Honestly. You can't expect me to believe your parents didn't tell you anything?"
You just looked at him dumbfounded until he continued.
*Sigh* "Your parents have decided that you should have a different lifestyle, and so you are coming with me to the Makai. It was decided at birth that we be... (scowling, clearly displeased) together."
You sat back, absorbing this. Finally you asked, "And the Makai is...?"
"Hn. The demon world, Miyuki, try and keep up with me."
"The WHAT?"
"You are a demon, Miyuki, as are your parents. Surely you knew you were different than the rest?"
"Uh, well, sort of, but I didn't think it was demonic powers I was feeling!"
*Winces* "Your shrieking is damaging my ear drums. I'm tired of talking, Miyuki. It's time to go to the Spirit World to talk to Koenma."
Hiei created a portal to the Spirit World, grabbed your arm and began dragging you towards it.
"No! You can't do this to me! I have rights, I have a choice, I-"
You didn't get a chance to finish your sentence because Hiei, fed up, grabbed you, threw you onto his shoulder, and dived into the portal. You screamed and thrashed, but to no avail. You began to feel dizzy, and you recall Hiei's grip tightening around you, and then everything went black.
